TABLE 1.

Comparison of BIV p26 and tTM recombinant-fusion-protein-based Western blots with the reference Western assay for the serodetection of BIV

Western blot assay	No. of serum samples		No. of samples identical to the reference assay	Concordancea to the reference assay (%)
	Positive	Negative
p26 based	22	83	105	100
tTM protein based	26	79	101	96.2
Referenceb	22	83	105	NAc

^aConcordance: (number of serum samples identical to the reference Western blot/total number of sera tested) × 100. 

^bAssay using whole virus proteins as test antigens. 

^cNA, not applicable.
